Chapter 435: As clever as Ningning is, she'll crush the scumbag!
Shi Lu just stared at Jiang Ning.
Squinting slightly.
So what if she's the eldest daughter of the Shi family?
So what if she's the Si family's little princess?
Now he's become a thief that everyone hates and who can't be seen in the light of day!
Once Jiang Ning is labeled a thief, she will bring shame upon both the Si and Shi families.
The policewoman, holding the necklace, looked at Jiang Ning and asked, "Is this bed yours?"
Anyone else would have panicked a little when questioned like this by the police, but Jiang Ning remained completely calm and said indifferently, "That's right, this bed is mine."
"But I didn't steal the necklace."
Shi Lu's face was full of anger as she pointed at Jiang Ning, "If you didn't steal it, then who did? Did you think my necklace would grow legs and run to your bed by itself?! No wonder you wouldn't let me search your bed, you were just feeling guilty. I never thought the eldest daughter of the Shi family would be such a shameless thief!"
Si Xubei stepped directly in front of Jiang Ning and looked at Shi Lu, "Nonsense! My sister would never steal anything!"
When Jiang Ning was found, her mother and aunts gave her a treasure chest.
Inside were priceless jewels, each more precious than Shi Lu's necklace. Jiang Ning had never been seen showing them off before, so why would she steal her roommate's necklace?
This is simply nonsense!
It is clear.
This was Shi Lu deliberately trying to frame his sister.
“Ningning is not a thief,” Xia Ying also stood up at this moment. “There is a motive for stealing. She is the eldest daughter of the Shi family, a girl who lacks nothing and is surrounded by love. Why would she care about your broken necklace?”
“Xia Ying is right,” Ma Zhaodi added, “We know Ningning’s character; she would never stoop to doing such a thing!”
Don't tell me that Jiang Ning is the eldest daughter of the Shi family.
Even if she weren't the eldest daughter of the Shi family, she wouldn't steal anything.
Wang Huihui, standing to the side, looked at Shi Lu and said, "Shi Lu, I also believe that Miss Shi would not steal other people's things! You are framing Miss Shi!"
Zhou Yuting immediately followed up, "That's right, you must be framing Miss Shi. From the day you entered the dormitory, you've envied Miss Shi for being prettier and from a better family than you. In terms of motive, you're the one with the strongest motive. Miss Shi had no motive to steal from you!"
Wang Huihui and Zhou Yuting have thoroughly offended Jiang Ning, so now they naturally want to find a way to make amends.
“That’s right, stealing requires a motive. Although Miss Shi is not short of money, who knows if she’s a psychopath who enjoys the thrill of stealing! Aren’t there many people like that in today’s society?” Shi Lu looked at the group, her eyes full of sarcasm. “Wang Huihui, Zhou Yuting, Xia Ying, Ma Zhaodi, the reason you’re speaking up for Jiang Ning is simply because she’s Miss Shi, and you want to curry favor with her!”
If Jiang Ning weren't the eldest daughter of the Shi family, would they still be speaking up for her like this?
Especially Ma Zhaodi and Xia Ying!
Perhaps these two already knew Jiang Ning's true identity!
Nausea.
They're all a disgusting bunch.
Snakes and rats are in cahoots.
"Do you really think there is no justice in this world? Even if Jiang Ning is the eldest daughter of the Shi family, once she crosses the legal line, she should be held accountable for her theft!"
At this point, Shi Lu looked at the police officer, "Officer, this necklace of mine is worth 20 yuan. You can take it to any appraisal center for authentication. Given the significant amount involved, shouldn't Jiang Ning be arrested and await sentencing in court?!"
Even if no one is on her side, even if no one stands with her, she can still win this battle beautifully!
Shi Lu is now very glad that she didn't tell Wang Huihui and Zhou Yuting about the plan. From beginning to end, only she knew about the necklace.
If she told these two about her plan, given their ungrateful nature, they would probably have sold her out by now!
The lead policewoman nodded. "The amount involved is quite large. If, after investigation, it is confirmed that Jiang Ning stole the necklace, and the victim files a lawsuit, she could be sentenced to imprisonment for three to five years. Please go to the police station to cooperate with the investigation."
Police investigations rely on witness testimony and physical evidence, and require logical consistency. They would not simply conclude that someone is the thief based on whose bed the necklace was found on.
"I am determined to file a lawsuit!" Shi Lu looked at Jiang Ning. "No matter who comes, I will not issue a letter of understanding."
She deliberately emphasized the words "letter of understanding".
Jiang Ning met Shi Lu's gaze, her expression unchanged. "Are you so sure I stole your necklace?"
"If it wasn't you who stole it, who else could it be?" Shi Lu squinted. "Jiang Ning, don't think you're so great just because you're the eldest daughter of the Shi family! This time, no one can protect you. You're dead."
Shi Lu is very pleased with herself now.
Because she knew that without witnesses and physical evidence, it would be difficult for Jiang Ning to clear her name.
Jiang Ning's calm demeanor stems from the fact that there are no fingerprints of hers on the necklace.
That's right.
Police can indeed extract fingerprints from the necklace.
However, if Jiang Ning wore gloves before stealing the necklace, she wouldn't have left fingerprints.
and so.
Jiang Ning has no way of proving her innocence.
Next.
All we have to do is wait for the Shi family and the Si family to come and ask her to issue a letter of understanding!
Once she issues a letter of understanding, neither the Si family nor the Shi family will dare to offend her for the rest of their lives.
If she were to make the letter of understanding public, the dignified eldest daughter of the Shi family would be branded with shame.
The thought that the Si family and the Shi family would one day ask her for help made Shi Lu feel very happy.
Jiang Ning stopped talking to Shi Lu and turned to the police: "I have direct evidence to prove that I didn't steal the necklace. Instead, Shi Lu deliberately placed the valuable item on my bed to frame me for theft. She fabricated facts, defamed me, and damaged my reputation. This behavior constitutes the crimes of framing and false accusation! I will insist on holding her accountable."
Shi Lu's face turned pale at first, but then she quickly recovered.
evidence?
What evidence can Jiang Ning produce?
Can she really clear her name with just her words?
Totally impossible!
If everyone can clear their name with words, then what's the point of having lawyers?
"Where is the evidence?" the police officer asked.
Jiang Ning turned her eyes slightly, her gaze falling on the bed.
Jiang Ning's bed is the same as everyone else's in the dormitory. In order to have her own independent little space, she installed bed curtains on all four sides on the first day she moved into the dormitory. They are the kind that don't let in any light, so she feels very safe when she watches TV or sleeps alone in bed at night.
“There’s a miniature surveillance camera in the upper right corner of my bed curtains,” Jiang Ning said calmly. “Although the camera can only capture images of my own bed, since the necklace was found on my bed, I think it must have been captured very clearly how it ended up there.”
Jiang Ning was not one to sit idly by and wait for death.
She had known all along that Shi Lu was dishonest.
It's hard to guard against petty people; mediocre people respect evil but not wicked ones.
Just in case.
On the second day of school, she hung a miniature surveillance camera on her bed curtain.
This way, you can protect yourself and avoid photographing the privacy of other people in the dormitory.
She just didn't expect that the surveillance footage would actually come in handy.
Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, Shi Lu's expression changed slightly.
what!
Is there surveillance footage?
Jiang Ning actually placed a surveillance camera on her bed.
Shi Lu only considered that surveillance cameras could not be installed in the dormitory, so no one could prove that she put the necklace on Jiang Ning's bed. But Shi Lu never expected that Jiang Ning would be so bored as to use a camera to monitor her!
How to do?
What should we do now?
Shi Lu could barely stand.
This necklace is worth 200,000 yuan. If Jiang Ning really installed surveillance cameras, then she's finished.
Given the methods of the Shi and Si families, she will suffer a terrible death.
But she still tried her best to calm herself down.
fake.
It must be fake!
Maybe Jiang Ning was just scaring him.
Jiang Ning had no evidence to prove her innocence, so she wanted to make her panic first.
ridiculous!
Do you really think she's easily frightened?
She wouldn't be fooled by Jiang Ning.
Thinking of this, Shi Lu immediately calmed down.
"There's surveillance footage, right? Even better if there is!" Shi Lu continued, "If you have the guts, go and get the footage right now. I want to see who stole the necklace and put it on your bed!"
“No need for that complicated process,” Jiang Ning said, taking her phone out of her pocket. “Now surveillance cameras are all connected to the internet, so you can just check them on your phone.”
After saying that, Jiang Ning handed her phone to the police officer, "Look, this is the view from which I installed the miniature surveillance camera on the bed curtain."
The police officer took the phone and said with a smile, "It's easy to handle with the surveillance footage."
After speaking, he looked at Shi Lu again, "When did you lose your necklace?"
Shi Lu is very nervous, but she can't give herself away yet. "I discovered the necklace was missing when I went out this morning. I saw it in my jewelry box yesterday afternoon. I think I lost it last night after I went out."
"What time did you leave home?" the policewoman asked.
"Half past five."
The policewoman nodded. "Then let's start the investigation from four o'clock last night."
The app can be fast-forwarded.
Using 10x speed will speed things up.
Jiang Ning, Si Xubei, Xia Ying, and Ma Zhaodi all walked over to the police and carefully watched the surveillance footage.
Shi Lu stood opposite the group, her eyes slightly narrowed.
She refused to believe that Jiang Ning had actually installed a surveillance camera on the bed.
This is definitely Jiang Ning's scheme.
She won't fall for it.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that the police hadn't reacted yet, Shi Lubian became even more certain that there was no surveillance footage and that everything was fake.
The people watching the surveillance footage were also getting anxious.
Just now.
On the screen, a hand reached in from outside the bed curtains, and then a person climbed up, quickly exposing her face to the monitor.
That was when her face was revealed.
"Holy crap! It really is Shi Lu!" Xia Ying exclaimed in surprise.
Upon seeing Shi Lu climb onto the bed, the policewoman immediately switched the playback speed from accelerated to normal.
Upon hearing Xia Ying's voice, Shi Lu's expression changed.
Did Jiang Ning really install surveillance cameras?
No, it can't be?
Shi Lu took a deep breath.
Xia Ying is definitely bluffing!
The footage on the monitor continued to play.
Shi Lu held a necklace in her hand and furtively placed it under Jiang Ning's bed sheet before quickly getting off Jiang Ning's bed.
The police officer paused the surveillance footage, walked up to Shi Lu with his phone in hand, and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Shi Lu stared wide-eyed at the footage on the monitor.
Why, how could this happen?
There really is surveillance footage!
At that moment, Shi Lu felt as if the sky had fallen, and her face turned deathly pale.
It’s over.
This is really the end.
Given the Shi family's methods, with this evidence, she will suffer a terrible death.
Click.
Handcuffs were immediately placed on Shi Lu's hands.
The police officer continued, "Now that we have both witnesses and physical evidence, please come with us."
Shi Lu used jewelry worth 20 yuan to frame others, which has caused serious consequences. She must first be taken to the police station to complete the next procedures, and then sent to the detention center to await the litigation process.
Shi Lu was truly terrified. She looked at Jiang Ning with tears in her eyes, "I was wrong! Miss Shi, I really know I was wrong! Please forgive me this once!"
"I will never dare to do it again. I will definitely be a good person from now on!"
In the end, Shi Lu suddenly knelt down in front of Jiang Ning.
She cannot go to the detention center.
She absolutely cannot go to jail!
No, you can't.
She has just started college; her life has just begun; she has so many precious years ahead of her.
"Miss Shi, please give me another chance! I really know I was wrong!"
Now, as long as Jiang Ning can forgive her and give her another chance, she's willing to do anything.
Shi Lu also knew a little about the law. She knew that if Jiang Ning was willing to forgive her and give her a letter of understanding, she wouldn't have to go to jail.
"Get up," Jiang Ning said calmly, looking at Shi Lu.
stand up?
Shi Lu's eyes lit up, and she immediately got up from the ground.
So, Jiang Ning is willing to forgive her?
did not expect.
Jiang Ning forgave her so easily.
Sure enough, an idiot is an idiot.
“I will not issue you a letter of forgiveness,” Jiang Ning said, looking at Shi Lu. “Do you know you were wrong? Are you scared? You’re afraid of going to jail, afraid of paying the price for your actions, so you’re here begging for mercy. I will pursue this matter to the end!”
